If I remember correctly, today was the 12th time when the majority of Formula 1 fans in Europe have to wake up early on a Sunday morning.

But believe me, it was worth ruining your peaceful Sunday sleep for such a great race as we saw this morning at the Albert Park, Melbourne, Australia.

The race was probably one of the most chaotic. Although the sun was shining and the temperature was well over 35 degrees Celsius, the race was on par with rainy races.

Unfortunately, 13 cars dropped out and to a great disappointment of Ferrari and its fans, two of their pilots Felipe Massa and Kimi Räikkönen were among the thirteen cars not to cross the finish line. To me, this was a total disaster for the Italian team.

However, it must be noted that despite Räikkönen's quite rear position, he managed to win a number of positions right in the opening of the race and by the end of the race was fighting for the second position. Unfortunately, Räikkönen has made a mistake. I cannot understand why he tried to attack for the second position when he knew that he would have to let it go after going to the pit lane.

After his mistake, Räikkönen managed to gain a position and a two and was leading both Heikki Kovalainen and Fernando Alonso but then he made a second and fatal mistake. Ultimately he had to retire.

The race was not smooth for other pilots as well. Probably the only pilot who managed to avoid difficulties of any sort was Lewis Hamilton and it must be said that the Briton got a deserved position on top of the podium.

The Briton seemed to be very happy. But I think the happiest man on the planet was Nico Rosberg. The young pilot of Williams has made it and put himself on the third position of the podium.

Nick Heidfeld has become quite a frequent guest of the podium. However, the German pilot in the German car is still not ready for the top. Or maybe is? BMW has made a considerable progress. Both drivers of BMW have demonstrated good speed and manoeuvre, but unfortunately Kubica dropped out.

Let's not forget Bourdais. The Frenchman has demonstrated his skill the royal racing sport. If we take into account what car is at Champ Car World Series guru's disposal, then his result shall be very impressive. Unfortunately, the engine of Bourdais failed at the very end but the Frenchmen still got his 1 point.

To sum up, the race was extremely interesting and the season looks to be very promising. Stay tuned, an don't forget to subscribe to our RSS feed.
